problem with visual basic in word xp

[sue tauber]

Hi:

Whenever I open word XP I get the following message:

The macros in the project are disabled. Please refer to
the online help or documentation of the host application
to determine how to enable macros.

FYI; I have norton system works 2003 on my system. I went
into word, tools, macros security and the security level
is high and the message is still popping up. I am not a
geek so please provide me with some helpful info in plain
english so I can get this messge to go away.

thanks

sue
